MS Windows hardening

Nowadays, when most of information are processed electronically, servers and personal computers security is the key technical measure in an information security area. Our MS Windows system configuration security audit service finds out security weak points and helps you to apply technical recommendations to remove them.

We can help you at the beginning to reduce potential attacks from internal network and to find out an optimal balance between security and operation needs. From our side, security audit is documented in such form, which enable customers to evolve this area internally.

Supported systems

Platforms, which are supported by our audit services:

• Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, 2008, XP, Vista, Windows 7.
